All things NuMTB thread, now lower longer and slacker

[Euphorbia]

sram trying to look less like OEM and more like boutique shit.

@Shamp

Would.

I won’t, but I would.

Real missed opportunity to not do the levers to match. You see those way more than the calipers.

[drwelby]

Oversized caliper to resist overheating but also retain optimal heat

How can you print this shit with a straight face.

@drwelby

Also some kind of servowave dealio. Another Shimano patent must have expired (see dubbletech).

The Radishvist article describes almost the same wandering bite point that people say the Saints have. I’ve only ever used the SLX levers, so I don’t think I’ve ever experienced it.

[drwelby]

I wondered if that was the same thing going on but they couldn’t connect the dots.

@frank_doktor

Two things in first paragraph that make me skeptical: putting them on a 130mm bike, and misspelling RS Lyrik fork. I expect a bit more from Travis. Look what the Radavist has done to him.

Radavist has low standards to maintain.

[Crustradamus]

Anyway, y’all see the super expensive small-batch production German brakes yet? Will link later if someone doesn’t beat me to it.

I usually don’t read that site unless someone posts it here.

That is the first issue like that I have read about.

I like that in some places he says it has 18.5mm and 19mm pistons, and in another he says 18mm and 19.5mm. classic radivist (lack of) copy-editing at work

What do we think of the DIY carbon frames?

DCB F130 Trek Fuel Style Carbon Full Suspension Frame 29er or 27.5+

[jimmythefly]

FSR kind of linkage is more Specialized style than Trek. Geometry quite a ways from a Fuel in terms of HTA and STA.
Interesting that it comes with a front gorilla mount.

Just looking things up, I see that Trek Fuel Gen6 frames and bikes now come with an adjustable-angle headset.

[JUGE_FREDD]

that geometry is extremely conservative

like would have been “cool for a trekalized” ten years ago

this is one of the few open mold FS frames with progressive geometry, a few of us have them

Brake pads work best, on paper, in a specific temperature range. Mama bear shit you know.

[BEEutiful_Wednesday_DDS]

someone needs to invent a brake with a fan that kicks on if it’s over X temperature. and then a little blanket that covers it if it’s below temperature.

[yonderboy]

I think Shimano has a patent on their fins on their discs and pads. Maybe someone can manufacture a bolt on brake duct next?

[Perlhammered]

I’m not sure that’s the case. I have a set of Swisstop pads with fins

Anyone tried these bars?

I put some on my wife’s bike. They are good.

Thanks. I might have to give these a try.

looks like a riser’d salsa bend 17 in which case they rule
